How to provide more sharing options and increase your site's traffic

Sharing widgets
Whether you are hosting a website or running a blog using Weebly you are probably going to want to gain greater numbers of traffic for your site. If you create a blog page on your site you will have the option upon creating a new post whether to have the sharing options on or off. However, Weebly only provides you with the Facebook and twitter sharing options. In order to broaden your horizon and increase your chances of new traffic you are going to want to provide a larger array of sharing options for your web pages or your blog posts. In order to achieve this just follow the steps below and you will allow your visitors an easily accessible way of sharing your site on countless platforms. 

Step 1 

Add sharing options
Select "website"
Go to www.sharethis.com. Select the button that says get sharing. You will now have the option of selecting various website platforms and content management systems. For Weebly users you want to select the website option. Once selected, click next. 

Select your design
Now pick your preffered design. You can choose from buttons, bars, or featured options. Once you have selected your chosen design you can click next and move on to customization.

Customize sharing options
Now scroll through the many different social media platforms and drag them from their location on to the "selected services" area. Once you have established your list of different sharing options you can click on "finished: get the code" to move on.

Step 2

Weebly control panel
Multi or Direct
Now choose multi post or direct post. Multi post will display a widget on your site and direct post will lead the user to the selected social media platform they choose to share your content on. 

<body> embed
Now select all the code from the top window and copy it. Go into your Weebly builder and drag a "embed code" (Custom HTML) into your site wherever you want the sharing options to appear. 

Tip: If you want the sharing options to appear on all pages of your blog instead of placing them manually every time you create a blog post then place the custom HTML on the right panel where your "archives" and "author" section are. Now the sharing options will appear on every blog article you create as well as the lead blog page. 

<head> embed
now select the second piece of code and copy it. Go to your weebly builder and select "settings from the top menu. Now go to the "SEO" section and paste the code at the bottom of the "header code" window. Click "save" and you are almost done.

Step 3

Weebly Publish
Now when you publish your site the additional sharing options will appear on your selected pages and blog posts. Now your visitors will have many additional ways of sharing your content. Now all you have to do is create content worth sharing and your site's traffic will increase tremendously.

Note: The icons will not appear in the Weebly builder. Only once you publish your site will you see them appear.

Good luck and if you enjoyed this content feel free to share it among the social media platforms I have provided as sharing options.

The only problem I've encountered when adding the share icons in the right panel on my blog is that when using them to share, when there are multiple posts showing, is that they don't pick up the post title. It only works when only one post is showing on the page.

Plagiarism is becoming a major problem for academic institutions and even more of an issue on the internet. The internet gives free access to information that anyone can use and abuse at will, with academic institutions almost powerless to detect or stop it.
